the BC version is bound to jruby-openssl gem. whenever you use that gem is depends on a BC gem, i.e. it loads the BC jars into the jruby classloader. currently this BC gem wraps BC-1.46 jaar and soon there will be a jruby-openssl gem which will depend on another wrapped BC version. jruby-1.7.1 was nice in the sense that BC was hidden and had no impact on the jruby client code with regard to the version of BC - as you are doing it right now.
there are other gems which just loads up a couple of jars in the jruby-classloader which are packed within the gem. it is kind of difficult to find out what versions of those jar are used and even what jars they are using. I personally miss something to tell the jruby classloader NOT to load any jars since the parent classloader provides everything (the java way of adding jars). in that sense scala or/and groovy might integrate smoother with java then jruby does. personally still prefer jruby over groovy or scala and hope there will be one day a nice solution for jruby how to use gems and jars equal manner. regards, Kristian On Sun, Jan 20, 2013 at 10:54 PM, Carl Bourne <carl.bou...@me.com> wrote: > I'm confused! > > Does this mean from now on if I use a version of JRuby later than 1.7.1 I > can't use the latest 1.4.7 Bouncy Castle libs? > > So my code seems to work fine with JRuby 1.7.1 but not JRuby 1.7.2! > > Could somebody please explain whats happening here as I seem to be going > round in circles and wasting hours of my time on something that I was hoping > to be straight forward.
